For People in Recovery

Support that stays close between appointments.

Log a meal however feels manageable today — a photo or a few words. No numbers, no pressure, and you never have to do this alone.

Always free for people in recovery.

Logging a meal shouldn’t feel like a test.

Some days you’ll want to say a lot. Some days three words is all there is. Both are logging, and neither one is worth more than the other.

A Photo, or a Few Words

However it comes out is fine. There’s no calorie field, nothing to weigh, and no portion to estimate.

No Numbers, Ever

You won’t see calorie counts or a score for what you ate. That information is clinical, and it belongs with your care team.

Nothing to Keep Up

No streaks, no points, no badge for a perfect week. A missed day is a missed day, not a broken record.

Room to Come Back

If you stop logging for a while, nothing is lost and nothing scolds you when you return. Coming back is the whole point.

It answers like a person, not a form.

Logging happens in a conversation. You say what you ate, and what comes back is a reply — not a screen of analysis, a score, or a breakdown to interpret.

If something was hard, you can say that too, and it’ll be received rather than processed. What you write becomes context your care team can see, if you’re connected to one.

Connected to your team, on your terms.

If you’re working with a provider, linking means they can see how the week actually went rather than asking you to reconstruct it from memory.

Linking is something you agree to, not something done to you. You can message your care team from the app, and what you log becomes context for the next session instead of a report card.

If a caregiver is part of your support, what they see is limited by design — never your photos, never numbers, never your provider’s notes.

Questions People Ask

Why are there three separate apps instead of one?
Recovery looks different depending on where you’re standing. A person in recovery, a caregiver, and a provider each need different information, different tools, and different boundaries. Separate apps let each person see what is helpful for their role without exposing information that doesn’t belong there, while still working together when connected.
Do all three apps have to be used together?
No. Each app can be used independently, and they become more useful when connected. Connecting with a provider or caregiver is optional. A provider can also decide whether meals are logged by the client or by a connected caregiver on the client’s behalf.
What does someone actually log?
A meal in whatever way feels manageable that day — with a photo or just a few words. There is no calorie field, food weighing, or requirement to enter measured portions. A brief entry still counts as logging.
What does a provider see?
Providers can see meals as they were logged, relevant information recorded with them, weight and body information entered by the provider, assessments completed between visits, and movement or activity when enabled. Detailed clinical numbers remain in the provider app.
What can a caregiver see?
Caregivers receive a limited view designed to help them respond in the moment. This may include whether planned meals were recorded, gentle patterns over time, and situation-specific guidance. They do not see calories, weight, meal photos, detailed nutrition information, exact amounts eaten, or provider notes.
What does the AI do, and what does it not do?
Its role differs by app. In the app for people in recovery, AI helps turn a conversational description into a meal log; it is not a treatment coach. In the caregiver app, it offers guidance tailored to the caregiver’s situation. It does not diagnose, set or change treatment goals, or replace the treatment team’s judgment.
How is Well Plated different from a food diary?
A food diary is usually something you keep for yourself. Well Plated is designed to support treatment. Meals can be logged with a photo or a few words, providers can see meaningful patterns between appointments, caregivers receive guidance designed for their role, and each app shares only the information appropriate for the person using it. The goal isn’t to collect more data — it’s to make the data clinically useful.
Who can see my information?
Providers connected to your account can see information available through the provider app. A caregiver receives a limited view only when caregiver involvement has been enabled. Well Plated does not sell personal information or use it for advertising.
Can I delete my account and my data?
Yes. You can request deletion of your account at any time, and we process requests within 30 days. Some records may be retained where required by law. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.
Is this a replacement for treatment?
No. Well Plated supports the work that happens between appointments. It is not therapy, a diagnostic tool, or a substitute for professional care. Clinical judgment stays with the treatment team.
Will I be shown calorie or nutrition numbers?
No. The app for people in recovery shows no calorie counts or numeric feedback about how much was eaten. Detailed nutrition and weight information is reserved for the provider app.
Are there streaks, points, or rewards for logging?
Recovery isn’t a game to win. Well Plated doesn’t use streaks, badges, points, or daily goals, because missing a meal log shouldn’t become another source of pressure or another way to feel like you’ve failed. Logging is there to support recovery, not measure it.
Was Well Plated built by people who understand eating disorders?
Yes. Well Plated was created by a PhD, LMFT specializing in eating disorders, working alongside experienced software engineers. It was shaped with input from practicing clinicians and built around the realities of evidence-based eating disorder treatment.
Which app do I need?
There is one app for each role: one for the person in recovery, one for clinicians, and one for a parent, partner, or other support person. Each is a separate download.
What devices are supported?
All three apps are available for iPhone and Android through the App Store and Google Play.
Is the app for people in recovery free?
Yes. The app for people in recovery is free during Early Access and will remain free afterward.
